Mycobacterium Biofilms: Factors Involved in Development, Dispersal, and Therapeutic Strategies Against Biofilm-Relevant Pathogens
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Many bacteria can develop biofilm (BF), a multicellular structure largely combining bacteria and their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The formation of biofilm results in an alternative existence in which microbes ensure their survival in adverse environments.
